Though the letters to Timothy and Titus are usually thought to be good reading for preacher’s, they are applicable to all who desire to be servants of Christ.  Paul’s words to Timothy here detail characteristics of anyone who would wish to serve the Lord, and to do so faithfully.  Speaker: Justin P.

In this preach, Matt concludes The Truth series by emphasizing that Jesus himself is the ultimate truth, and that Christians are called to hold fast to the gospel while avoiding distractions from false ideas or societal trends. Sharing Jesus effectively involves both living a Jesus-shaped life—demonstrating peace, grace, and hope in daily challenges—and speaking about the gospel from personal experience. Ultimately, Matt encourages everyone to spend daily time with Jesus, be prepared to share the good news, and actively shine His light in their communities.

Message from Lic. Aaron Arnold on November 30, 2025

Message from Elder James Carelock on November 30, 2025

In an age of biblical illiteracy despite abundant Christian content, believers must return to building their lives on Scripture's foundation. Paul's final words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:14-17 reveal four essential truths: remember faithful mentors who modeled Scripture, recognize that all Scripture points to Christ, submit to Scripture's divine authority, and trust in its sufficiency for spiritual growth.

Paul tells Timothy that he must not only get the right message out, but also be the right kind of messenger.

Understanding True Character in the Last DaysIn this episode of Teens Draw Near to God, host Shirah Chante guides teenagers on how to grow closer to God. Shirah discusses the importance of reading the Bible and spending time in prayer. She reflects on the challenges of finding true character in people, especially in the last days, referencing scripture from 2 Timothy and Matthew. The episode ends with the reading of the poem Fair Love and emphasizes the necessity of shared faith in relationships. Shirah Chante encourages listeners to read Matthew 24 as a weekly challenge.00:00 Welcome and Introduction00:42 Importance of Reading the Bible02:27 Recognizing True Character04:20 Signs of the Last Days07:22 Understanding Fair Love12:05 Reading and Analyzing the Poem Fair Love18:09 Conclusion and Weekly ChallengeSupport the show

Josh Cross | In a world marred by sin and suffering, becoming a follower of Christ is not to be considered a path of least resistance, but rather, a call to endurance. As an apostle of Jesus Christ, Paul understood the cost of the call and in this heartfelt epistle, looks to center and encourage Timothy in his efforts. As fellow believers, we should take the words of Paul to heart and be spurred on by them as we run the race toward the finish line.

How many times have you heard something like this, “You don't have to do anything to be saved. Only believe.” I agree one hundred percent salvation is through faith in Christ given to us by his marvelous grace, but I am not sold on the “you don't have to do anything” bit because if you are believing, you are doing something and Paul tells Timothy many things in chapter 2 that he must do in order to remain strong in his faith in Christ. In vs15 Paul tells Timothy to “work hard” and “be a good worker” so that he will “receive God's approval.” James says that faith without works is dead. Most of this type of teaching came from a few people in the late 1500 to early 1600s. Believe what you will, but if I were you, I'd stick with the truth of God's word over man's opinion, especially when eternity is at stake!

Ezekiel - The Watchman's Duty, Word of Jerusalem's Capture, Prophecy against the Shepherds of Israel, The Restoration of Israel 2 Timothy - Be Strong, An Unashamed Worker

Ezekiel - Prophecy against Mount Seir. The mountains of Israel to be blessed. Israel to be renewed for His name's sake. 2 Timothy - Difficult times will come.

After all that Paul says in his final letter, what parting desire did he have for Timothy? He wanted him to experience the Lord Jesus's presence with his spirit.

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. - 2 Timothy 3:12

Esther commences with Ahasuerus' feast. That Persian king is also known as Darius 1. He holds a feast lasting for 180 days. The year is 515 BC. The king rules from his palace in Shushan (also known as Ecbatana). This is Darius' royal citadel from which he reigns over 127 provinces. Ahasuerus wishes to show his pomp to all the dignitaries of his realm, so he holds a feast lasting for 6 months. At the end of this the king holds another feast of 7 days duration and on this occasion the king gives gifts of food and wine, until each of his lords are satisfied. At the end of this feast, he calls for his beautiful wife Vashti to attend, in order that all those present might see her beauty. But Vashti refuses to attend creating a dilemma in the Persian court. The nobles insist that Vashti be disciplined by king Ahasuerus and that he divorce her. The princes argue that Vashti's refusal has created a precedent for every wife in the realm to refuse to submit to their husbands. So, king Ahasuerus issues a decree forbidding Vashti from being queen and from ever again coming into his presence.Amos 6 tells of those who are at ease in Zion i.e. they had failed to show the vigilance and diligence required of God's servants. These citizens have been proud and refused to accept that for this reason they must be judged. These lofty individuals indulged in every luxury without giving their Sovereign a second thought. Individuals who are wicked and selfish individuals have no compassion for those who are suffering. For those reasons many of them would die in the coming day when the Almighty was to repay their evils. And yet they would still refuse to acknowledge the LORD. In the poetic symbolism of verses 11-12 the prophet says that every effect has a logical cause. And the end of the chapter states that their actions and contempt for their God would be the cause of their Sovereign's allowing the Assyrian to bring the nation into captivity.

When I was a young man in my late teens, I played drums at a big church in West Tennessee where Sam Austin was pastoring. He now pastors somewhere in Arkansas now and is an evangelist. He would sometimes say, “You can clean up a pig and win first prize at the county fair but as soon as you get that clean pig home, it's running straight for the mud! Because that is what pigs do!” Paul tells Timothy, “Teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others...” Some people just aren't trustworthy, they take what they have been taught and do nothing with it, they just soak it all in and never share it, like pigs, they devour all the food and go play in the mud.

Are you feeling alone, forgotten, judged or misunderstood? Maybe someone who once stood by your side isn't around anymore and you feel abandoned? 2 Timothy 4:9-22 is a refreshingly honest picture of the apostle Paul, at the end of his life, going through all of that and more. It's in the chaos of circumstances he can't control that he celebrates his deepest confidence - the presence and power of Jesus. He's been pointing us to it the entire letter but now he holds it up one last time as if to say, “Jesus is why you can stand firm.”

Laura and Pastor Daniel discuss Sunday's message from the Bible 2025 series!

Relationships and locations are the human means by which the Spirit of God empowers the mission of God. In other words, the Lord uses people in places to accomplish his purpose!​ Listen to the final sermon from our 2 Timothy series, “Final Words”, and learn more about the series here.

Nehemiah had initially been given leave in approximatelyBC 470 by the Persian king Darius for a period of time after which he returned to Ecbatana (the king's palace in Shushan). Then a further thirteen years elapse (BC 457) he is again granted leave to return. Sadly, in his absence, there had been a decline described by the prophet Malachi. Nehemiah 13 would have been the last section of the Old Testament to have been written shortly after Malachi's prophecy. When we compare Malachi and Nehemiah 13 we see the same problems being addressed. The first few verses of Nehemiah 13 tell us that Nehemiah reads to his people from the Book of Moses that Balaam was able to bring a curse on Israel only when they mingle themselves among the profane, immoral and uncovenanted Moabites. So, Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem and this is what he found - the high priest's daughter was married to Tobiah (one of the great enemies of Israel) and the high priest had set up for Tobiah a room in the temple and had stopped the collecting of the tithes for the priests and Levites which had previously been stored in Tobiah's room. Nehemiah casts Tobiah and his furniture out of the temple. Then Nehemiah cleanses the house of God. Because the tithes had not been paid the Levites had been forced to abandon the teaching of the Law to the people and work as day labourers in the fields.Nehemiah quickly rectifies this problem. The sanctity of the Sabbath had again been lost and the foreign merchants had resumed their trade. Nehemiah asks for the LORD to remember him for good.Nehemiah's heart was always directed to Yahweh's and His people's service. The next problem described is the intermarriage between Jews and godless and uncovenanted foreigners. The result is total confusion and children who knew not their God (compare Malachi 2verses11-16 read aloud, pause and ponder). Nehemiah forcefully remonstrates with those who had committed this breach of faith with their God and reminds them that the marrying of uncovenanted wives was one of the greatest factors in the turning of Israel to idolatry at the time of Solomon - despite Solomon's great wisdom. The offerings are restored and Nehemiah in his final prayer says, "Remember me, O my God, for good".

This message on legacy uses Paul and Timothy's relationship to show that life is a relay. We all receive and pass a baton through intentionality, practice, and proximity, and our legacy is shaped by who we invest in, what we pass on, and how well we make the handoff.

At the end of his letter and his life, Paul bursts into a doxology at the thought that God will rescue him from the lion's mouth and bring him safely home.

As we conclude this study of 2 Timothy and the final charge from Paul, we want to share the similar message of another who was martyred for his faith very near to Paul in time and location - The Apostle Peter, who also lived unashamed and unchained! 

What hope do we have in suffering and persecution? John Piper meditates on the power of God to strengthen us even when everyone else has turned away.
